Nikita star Shane West has revealed new details about the upcoming season finale.

The actor told IGN that the CW drama's first run will end on a "pretty dynamic cliffhanger".

"The way this season is going to end, it's going to look nothing like it started," he claimed. "There are going to be all sort of splits in different factions. Percy (Xander Berkeley)'s plan is to take over the CIA and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) has gone rogue.

"[My character Michael] and Nikita are incapacitated in some sense. Not together, but separately, [and] we can't help anybody."

West added that several characters will be placed in mortal danger as the season draws to a close.

"By the end of the season, it's going to throw up a lot of possibilities of almost everyone being offed," he promised. "Everything kind of falls apart in a pretty amazing way."

Nikita producer Craig Silverstein previously suggested that the season finale will be "satisfying" but explained that the storyline will "carry into season two".

"There is some resolution, but things are not tied up," he said. "Everything shifts at the end."
